Given that the Predator-Prey II model combines aspects of the Population Growth model and the Predator-Prey I model, what is causing the fluctuations and what causes the populations to eventually stabilize at zero population growth?
a. Fluctuations are caused by a population seeking its carrying capacity, while stability is caused by species interactions
b. Fluctuations are caused by species interactions, while stability is apparently due to the carrying capacity of each species.
c. Species interactions are the cause of both fluctuations and stabilization.
d. Carrying capacity is the predominant force in both cases.
